- Fitness Assessment and Goal Setting
Personal training with Element Fitness starts with fitness assessments and goal setting. Sam will perform measurements and provide you with body fat percentage at your request. He will also test your muscular endurance and flexibility. Once your current level of fitness has been assessed, Sam will work with you to set your fitness goals.
Cardiovascular training will focus on target heart-rate training (where you train within your range of maximum benefit) and interval training (mixing brief bursts of higher intensity work with longer periods of lower intensity recovery). It can be machine-based, indoors or outdoors, and can include circuit training, running and even hiking. Sam will recommend a form of cardio training that is enjoyable and keeps you motivated.
Resistance training will include a variety of disciplines including a combination of free weights, machine-based training, medicine balls, mat work and manual resistance. This keeps things fun and varied and gives clients a healthy toned body.
- Circuit & Interval Training
A time-efficient workout simultaneously delivering the benefits of a cardio session with those of a strength training session. There is no rest in the circuit program which will create a supercharged calorie burning workout. This program is also based around multi-joint, multi-muscle exercises, otherwise known as functional exercise. These functional exercises (such as performing a squat with a shoulder press) will spread the benefit around your body and make you fit for activities you perform in your every day life. This is a great approach for those who already understand the basics of strength training, have a limited amount of time for workouts and need to fit both cardio and strength training into one session.
- Stretching and Flexibility
Flexibility training is more than just injury prevention. Whether you're a serious competitor or training for personal benefit, proper stretching during and after your workout will improve your performance, increase your flexibility, and make you feel better. Sam will provide you with 10-15 minutes of assisted stretching at the end of a session (upon request).
